Proper timing chain instal

[punched281]

This is the second timing chain tensioner I will be replacing in the last 2,000 miles.

So my question is, do I just put the tensioner on and pull the pin and that is it. Or do I need to assist the tensioner at first in getting the slack out of the chain?

This is the style with the hydraulic and the toothed mechanism as well.

Any pointers?

I actually just found it just after I posted haha. It just seems odd it starts so loose.

You can always prime the engine untill you see oil bleed from the tentioners..?
